However, another deputy at the scene said that when Rhodes was getting into the police vehicle, he asked about his duffle bag with all his possessions. Eisenberg told him it wouldn’t be coming with him, reports the Sun Sentinel.

“Well Broward County can buy me a new one,” Rhodes allegedly replied, according to the deputy, prompting Eisenberg to punch him in the face.

Eisenberg's lawyer, Alberto Milian, told the Sun Sentinel that the charges are “another hack job by BSO internal affairs” to make Sheriff Al Lamberti look good before elections.

"[Eisenberg] made an arrest of a guy and he did his report and he did his job. He wrote a report and we're sticking by it," Milian said.
